This featured selection of the Conservative Book Club has a lot to say for itself and the history of the Catholic Church in creating the world we live in right now. Music, theater, legal questioning, economics, education, scholarship, fine arts and, yes, even science all owe their "lives" to the Church.

"How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization" by Thomas Wood is packed with historical references and modern scholarship to illustrate the Catholic influence on our world and culture, particularly in the areas of philosophy, theology, charity, science and scientific methodology, law, international relations, education, medicine and health, and economic theory. Interesting read with a substantial number of additional reference materials for further reading. [3.5/5]
